Our Story

Our Origins

I, Uri Thatcher, just really love touch up paint.

I think it’s neat.

That’s it. That’s our origins.

I mean...there’s other stuff. Like how my earliest childhood memory was lining up my cars for inspection and maintenance as I vowed to protect them from harm. Or how when I was nineteen, I scoured the country searching for rare motorcycles I could fix up and export abroad. On those journeys, I met all kinds of people and realized how much a person’s vehicle means to them. It deserves to be loved and looked after with the utmost care. With this ethos on hand, I spent the next two decades in the touch up paint industry. During that time, I encountered many talented like minded car fanatics. With our combined experience and years in the business, we came up with many ideas on how to make the touch up paint process better. Higher quality paint, eco-friendly products, and dedicated customer service were just a few of the plans we wanted to implement. Most of all we wanted to build a company where customers could restore their pride of ownership.
